i made a request too.For your info , as they request the link of ANN SLR of this forum , the 1st page of this thread is still announcing POW and POS , without mentionning we are POST.This 1st page should be updated to reflect the correct actual stage of the project.Thanks

is the price of SolarCoin going down, when the power produced by Solar Cells getting cheaper over time?

That only makes it cost less to claim as you are saying it is cheaper to buy panels. But you are correct when you say the price of SolarCoin will go down if Solar becomes cheaper since more people Claiming and selling will flood the market with coin that it can't support at higher prices. Everyone here likes to tell people the price goes up by claiming but when the market can leave to BitCoin the price goes down. BitCoin is an integral part of SLR and always will be. If the holders of coin right now sell to BitCoin the only way they come back in with their BitCoin is at lower prices, the concept of the market is to buy low sell high and everyone will be doing it at some point so how will it sustain the price later when there will be more people trying to get their claims out into BitCoin and then to Fiat to get the costs of their Solar out. If you get your costs out then that money leaves and doesn't come back. Even if the exchanges let people go from SLR to Fiat the money still leaves to pay for installation costs. How does the SLR market absorb that if there is only so much BitCoin to go around?

SolarCoin is an alternative digital currency with a built-in mechanism to incentivize the generation of global solar electricity.

Cool idea, how much would you say have you accomplished in getting nearer to this aim of yours?

The current SolarCoin claimable energy reward is worth over $3 billion USD. SolarCoin is being given out in 19 countries. Right now the community is very small less then 500 people, but growing quickly. The electricchain is only 8 weeks old and has observers from around the world from leading science, govt, commercial and academic institutions dealing with energy, blockchain and solar hardware. Business and Technical Development work is quietly under way in cities around the world with very large partners.....the seed is planted.

You have been talking about claims flooding the market since we went past 0.00002000 . And for some reason we are 700% higher now? how can that be if caims are flooding the market. You could say the same about bitcoin. 25 new BTC every 10 min... However the price still stays somewhat stable.. Those who saw the bigger picture got rewarded by a higher solarcoin price. It was pretty simple to see coming. I posed everywhere telling people how I thought SLR was severely undervalued. And who would have guessed. Here we are at much higher prices. I think you might not have realized how little bitcoins had to be invested into SLR for the price to sustain itself. a few months ago all that was needed was a couple of dollars a day. Im not sure about right now but I can tell you it was pretty obvious that SLR was undervalued.

Great work. Keep it up you guys are legends! However I have to point out it's not really 3 Billion$ :p there would be no demand for that amount of SLR (right now at least)

I would say we are slowly getting there. You have to realize this is a long term project. Some people are working very hard to make Solarcoin a success. In reality I don't think SLR has incentivized a lot of people to put Solar Panels on their roof. Simply because it wasnt really worth the hassle. Just like mining bitcoins wasn't really worth it back in 2010. people only started to really understand it when the price started going nuts. I think now that people are actually paying a lot more for solarcoins the incentive for claims will rise just like it did with mining for bitcoin.

What I really like most about Solarcoin is that it's the perfect way to effectively invest in both blockchain technology and Solar energy. It's a new idea and like most new ideas it will take time to establish itself. It's definitely the most interesting crypto project out there. But that's just my opinion. Don't take my word for it

edit: I just saw the quote was from the Solarcoin foundation. I'm not part of the Solarcoin foundation, I'm just a speculator who has been following Solarcoin for a while

This project is really exciting and we are seeing kind of an acceleration in interest on it. A few months ago, and in late 2015, we are talking about the concept of connecting data loggers to blockchain. i.e. sun to blockchain flow with the whitepaper. Now I estimate that there are about either 100-300 people working on this on different chains, different cryptos and also within the ElectriCChain project itself. I was over on the IOTA chat, and there is a lot of interest now in China regarding IOTA (hundreds of people). It is only a matter of time before that interest or a subset is connected with SolarCoin as well.

I have heard a lot of talk recently about the possibility of moving onto the Ethereum network, this would obviously have its benefits with regards to autonomous rewards in the future. How are we progressing with that, is that looking like it will happen?

Pretty difficult for claims to flood the market at .00002000 if the price were to go up to .02 what do you think will happen? I think the market would flood wouldn't you? Besides that is the point of the coin right... and if it is successful then what do you think happens? Success equals people claim, so you are saying claimers will hold their coin after they are enticed to claim? Definitely undervalued which is part of the reason why not as many people claim. They also have to know about SLR and what better way than money? Everyone I talked to said it isn't worth their time to even bother. I said it is free money etc. How much money? A few cents a coin. How many coins have been claimed? Well 33 Million were mined by people who didn't have to own solar. Thanks I'll pass, ok nice talking with you. So I can't wait till I go back and say hey buddy remember that coin I told you about claiming with solar? It is at $100 a coin now and your claim is worth a ton more! I think he would say, Oh Great where do I sign up?

I guess you can't see this scenario playing out and deluging the buys of what we thought the market would bear? Not to mention the 33 Million are in play waiting to pounce! Which is why I suggested a PEG or Magic number. Then you have Real Trade along side Merchant Trade / Magic PEG combined with Exchange Rates. It is very simple to understand that both can subsist together since one requires costs of goods in order to sustain and the other shows utility between users. If the Merchant Trade is down merchants can PEG to it and cost you more SLR to buy a Loaf of Bread or Solar Panel or Inverter. But those who are on board with the Real Trade can have their coin leverage outside an Exchange. It is called the best of both worlds! Even though I am creating my own coin now I still give these ideas to better SLR. It could be done at any time but rolling the 33Million into 10K or 100K has to be considered at the next fork in the road. The 100K scenario fractionally converts the 33 Million into portions creating 10x on an investment. Then claimers can pour in and be rewarded quicker from any buys which could be at the exact same price that the conversion happened and it then moves forward as it normally would. But have the chance that it could boost due to Less Coin and a PEG for Real Trade. Kickstart the claiming and protect claimers simultaneously.

I can't wait to be proven wrong and really I want to be proven wrong but it leans in the opposite direction.

Have you thought about what happens when a large facility makes a claim and floods the market with tens of thousands of coins under your scenario? There wouldn't be enough liquidity to absorb the claim, and that's just one claim.
